# humane.js
This project was heavily inspired by [humanmsg](http://code.google.com/p/humanmsg/) project for jQuery. I really
liked the project but I wanted to remove the jQuery dependency, add support for CSS transitions, and have more
control over the timing.
## About
humane.js tries to be as unobtrusive as possible to the user experience while providing helpful information that is
clear and grabs the users attention. It is framework independent. Customizable.
## Setup
Setup is simple:
- Download tar/zip
- Select a [theme](https://github.com/wavded/humane-js/wiki/Themes) from `themes` dir.
- Include the theme CSS in your page
- Include `humane.min.js` in your page
## Demo/Usage
You can see a [demo and usage here](http://wavded.github.com/humane-js/)
## Custom Themes
Got a neat theme/animation, love to see it. View `theme-src/bigbox.styl` for an template to get started (uses [Stylus](http://learnboost.github.com/stylus/) w/ Nib and Canvas).
To get setup with Stylus use [npm](http://npmjs.org):
```sh
(sudo) npm install -g stylus nib canvas
```
With Stylus installed you can watch for changes and compile into CSS by running:
```sh
make watch
```
